How to Have White Hands.

The remarkable discovery has recent
ly been made that white hands are
coming into fashion again" 1t would
seem that hands have been growing less
white than they used TO be, and have
suffered from too great attachments in
ladies to lawn-tennis and boating and
other masculine accomplishment
"Chapped and red hands are never pref
ty, and these, Of course, invariably fol-
low on outdoor exercise. The evil is,
happily, not beyond remedy, and, to
effect this purpose, the daughters of
fashion, as many of them will learn
with surprise, now have dishes of hot
water shaped like hower-leaf on their
toilet-table, in which they steep their
hands for q while before going to bed,
then anoint them with vaseline and put
on gloves lined with preparation of
cold cream. These gloves should be of
wash-leather and several sizes too large
for the hand. -Ar9onaut

AN HONEST TRAMP. Going home /

AN HONEST TRAMP. Going home to
supper the other night youth whose
first initial is Charlie, met a tramp who
begged a dime. With characteristic
generosity Charlie went down into his
pocket for n quarter, and by mistake got
hold of a So gold piece which his father
had given him for Christmas present.
Charlie had no appetite for his supper
after discovering his mistake, but an
hour after he found the tramp who had
gone without his supper rather than
break the piece, looking for him. The
tramp may have concluded that honesty
was the best policy, but at any rate he
WAS honest, and appeared glad to change
the IS for the two-bits.

OLD AND You've. Folks DANCE. The
grand success of the season was the old
and young folks dance last Thursday
evening at Hyde's hall. The floor was
filled and dancing begun about $50. 1t
is needless to mention the music, every
one knows its excellence. Its notes
proved so inspiring that some of Lam
casters most grave and dignified
lawyers forgot their judicial bearing
and at II clock were still ready for one
more dance. Among those present
from out of town were Ed Kinney, VIM
Hymer, Andy Kaltenbach, Misses Minnie
and Matte jackson, MIR. and Mrs. Dud-
lev, Alta Willard. Misses Fannie and
Mile Kaltenbach and Geo. Kinney, all
of Potosi. Oysters were served at Mrs.
Cramer's. 1t is the universal opinion
that this was the best dance of the season
so far. The regular club dance will be
held next Wednesday night, and we
would suggest that both old and young
come again.

Few Know What They Drink.

1t Is fact said a somewhat famous
mixer of fancy drinks last evening, that there
are very few good judges Of liquor. II is q
very old chestnut to set out whisky When
brandy is called for, and not one in ten can
tel the difference have often been told by
a customer that he had never tasted finer
brandy when he was drinking a very ordi-
nary whisky. There are few people who can
distinguish between high and low priced
wines. remember nearly splitting my sides
once laughing at man who was ordering
champagne iie was drinking Werner's
American extra dry, and told his friend how
he once drank it with NJ. Werner In Parn,
He thought it was the highest priced French
wine until he found out that it was costing
him only dollar bottle. Then he wilted.
Even manufacturers are sold Once at q
convention of the beer brewers Of the coun-
try heard brewer boast that he could
name any kind Of beer with his eyes blinded.
We tried him, and when the handkerchief
was over his eyes we gave him nine sips out
Of the same glass and heard him name nins
different brands. That WAS very good spor..
As matter nf fact, this telling liquors by
the taste is very delicate business By mod
ern processes distillers can age liquors so a.
to fool even the old timers. The worst case
ever struck was fisherman who rowed ma
down the river last summer. l offered him Q
swig out Of bottle containing very fine
whisky He returned it, saying it was poor
stuff. | handed him a bottle containing some
rot gut used to clean my gun. He took
long pull, and said it WAS as good liquor a. hs
ever tasted Buffalo Courier.

The RarrOom Crank.

The barroom crank is one of the characters
of the town No metropolitan bar is complete
without its crank. At such swell establish
ments as the Hoffman he is commonly man
of means, whose wits have beeirworn thread
bare by oyerindulgence. In smaller estab-
lishments he varies in quality from the Jack
of the bar room who sweeps the place out for
the privilege of hanging around and picking
up what drinks he can, up 10 some well-to-do
customer whose cash makes his eccentricity
excusable This species of crank is the most
interesting because he presents such an inti-
mite variety Of oddity. Some are sour tenn
pered and others merry, some kick at the
quality of their liquor, and others would
drink vitriel and water without grumbiing.
There are humorous and melancholy cranks
and the wise and foolish ones. Indeed,
know no quality of mentality that is not rep
resented among them.-Alfred Trurubie III

had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Howard
Immediately after his famous interview with
Mr.. Pulitzer. He came into the International
and walking up to the bar asked for some
"calisaya and seltzer' There was nothing in
his manner or appearance TO Indicate that he
had been mauled by the Magyar The bar
keeper mixed the drink, Howard resarding
him sternly
Young man, how long have You kept bar -
Bout eight years.
Then You ought to know that when you
serve gentleman you should put the bottles
on the bar and let Lin help himself"
The barkeeper, nothing loath, tossed the
rejected "swash" into his waste basket and
placed a bottle of calisaya and siphon before
the syndicate Of historians Joe poured out
the calisaya and then put his thumb on the
lever. S-i-s-s-h went the siphon. He had
pressed too hard. The contents of the glass
went all over his collar and shirt, up his
sleeve and into his eyes. The red stain was

Col Richard T. Auchmuty, who has been
writing for magazines on the subject of in
dustrial education, is practical as well as
theoretical in the advancement of his ideas
upon that subject. For many years Col.
Auchmuty has brought together in the upper
part of New York IN night schools and small
gatherings young people whom he has in
structed i'll practical every day work. a gen
tleman who has visited his schools said to me-
the other day: The colonel is practical
philanthropist and has been sowing good
seed. l saw him showing one young man
how to mix mortar. Another of his pupils
he was inStructing in showing a jack plane.
Still another was being shown how to Use

skilled carpenters will tell You that not one
man in fifty knows how TO properly shove
saw back anu forth through a pine board.
The colonel had also little class of pupils
who were being instructed how TO sharpen
edge tools. You can catch the idea of his
work from these samples. He was engaged
in making helpful young men out of helpless

Two Incidents Of Army Life.

Among the many incidents of my army
life, two have always remained impressed
upon my memory with especial clearness
The first of these occurred, believe, at the
battle of Fair Oaks Gen. q. o. Howard, al
officer as brave as a man need he, in spite oi
his decidedly ostentatious holiness, wa:
brought from the front upon litter, evidently
severely wounded. The gallant Gen Phi
Kearney saw him and went 10 his side, saying
Gen Howard, l am really deeply grieved Il
see this Where are you hit" Howard, point
ing to kearney's empty right sleeve, a reli'
of his Mexican war service, replied: General
we can buy.pur gloves in Paris now" Th'
other incident occurred during Banks famou
Red river expedition. Admiral Porter despiset
Banks as military man, and was inclined Il
treat his plans with great contempt. Bank
one dav, alter some rather heated correspond
ence. undertook to order Porter TO place hi
gunboats in certain position. Porter
answer was short and to the point: Tell Gen
Banks he said, that he may be king o.

il is to delude q poor Sufferer into the
belief that some worthless liniment will
cure rheumatism and neuralgia. Honesty
is the best policy in the manufacture OF
proprietary articles as in all other matters,
and the fact that the proprietors of Athlo-
phoros have never claimed for it even all
its merit would warrant has not little to
do with its wonderful popularity, and the
thousands of grateful testimonials received
by them show that their policy has been
wise as we'll as right.
Experience has amply demonstrated
that mere outward applications are worth
less. The disease has its seat in the blood,
and any remedy TO be successful must deal
with the obstructive acid which poisons
and infames it.
Athlophoros acts on the blood, muscles
and joints directly. 1t takes the poison
out of the blood and carries il out OF the
system; it invigorates the action of the
muscles and limbers the stiffness OF the
Joints. 1t reaches the liver and kidneys,
cleansing them from irritating substances,
and, il followed up after the rheumatic
conditions cease, it will restore these organs
to regularity and health. Z
